2017 Toyota Rav4 Hybrid towing capacity
The 2017 Toyota Rav4 Hybrid is published in 9 configurations, with tow ratings ranging from 1,500 to 1,750 lb depending on cab, bed, drivetrain, and hitch class. The peak figure (1,750 lb) sits in very light towing only.
The table below lists every trim of the 2017 Toyota Rav4 Hybrid with the engine, drivetrain, axle ratio, horsepower, torque, GVWR, curb weight, and payload that go with that trim's headline tow rating. Manufacturers often publish more than one tow figure per truck — a conventional bumper-hitch rating, a weight-distributing rating, and a gooseneck or fifth-wheel rating — so the highest number here is the maximum across all hitch classes the source carries for the trim.

How to interpret the headline tow figure
Tow ratings at this level are normally achievable with a conventional Class II or Class III receiver hitch. Always verify your vehicle has the manufacturer's tow package installed if you intend to tow at the upper end of the rating, and inspect the door-jamb sticker for the actual maximum permitted on your specific configuration.
